In Loveland, you don't need a permit for a dumpster on your own driveway. If it goes on a street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way, you need a permit from Loveland Public Works. The city sets the fee, and approval takes about up to 10 business days. Call (970) 962-3153 to apply.
A driveway or private lot avoids the city permit in Loveland. If the only spot is the street, measure: a 20-yard needs about 25 feet of curb length and 10 feet of width.
Call (970) 962-3153 or use the city's website to request a right-of-way or encroachment permit. Ask for the current fee and any insurance or reflector requirements.
Expect to give the address, the container size, the delivery and pickup dates, the hauler’s name, and sometimes a placement sketch or proof of the hauler’s insurance.
Plan on up to 10 business days. Book the delivery for after the permit is issued, and keep a copy on site.
Many Loveland neighborhoods with HOAs limit how long a container can sit, even on a driveway. The city permit doesn't override HOA rules.
Not on your own driveway. If the dumpster sits on a public street, sidewalk, or other right-of-way, you need approval from Loveland Public Works. Call (970) 962-3153 to apply. The city sets the fee, so confirm it before booking. Processing takes about up to 10 business days. HOA rules may also apply.
Many haulers include about a week in the base price and charge a daily fee after that, so ask for the extra-day rate when you compare quotes. If the dumpster is on the street under a permit, the permit's end date is the limit.
